Y. Itoh et al., WIDE-BAND HIGH-POWER AMPLIFIER DESIGN USING NOVEL BAND-PASS FILTERS WITH FETS PARASITIC REACTANCES, IEICE transactions on electronics, E76C(6), 1993, pp. 938-943
A wideband high power amplifier design using a novel band-pass filter
with FET's parasitic reactances has been developed. The feature of thi
s design is in that it can provide wide bandwidth and high gain of hig
h power amplifiers. Furthermore, the lower cutoff frequency and bandwi
dth can be varied independently. With the use of this design, a Ku-ban
d two-stage high power amplifier having a bandwidth of 18% has achieve
d a linear gain of 9.75 +/- 1.75 dB, a saturated output power of great
er than 37 dBm, and a power-added efficiency of greater than 10.4%.
